A Memorable Trip to Swaik Lake..!
“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page” (Saint Augestine).
On a bright sunny morning of 8th october 2'17, was the beginning of the day of unforgettable memory of my trip with the amal fellows. Now that mentioning them just “fellows” would be unjust for they are more like a “family.” All excitement and arrangements which we have been planning since 1 week were at its peak by this day.
Everything among us was perfectly planned regarding management chores. From FaziLa ShafiQue’s latest model coaster arrangement to Murtaza Sabir’s barbeque arrangements without angeethi :p KASHAF UL FRASAT was a master chef with managing all the chicken marinated stuff for barbeque and Bilal Sahi’s new DSLR services but with the fixed lens ;) While talking about the management team it would be biased to not mention Zee Shan who played a role of more often as a “mazloom banda” to tackle the whole weight while hiking plus managing all the self-made angeethi stuff. Besides its worth mentioning here, the most cooperative and down to earth instructor mam Maryam Atiq without whose care and support our trip would not have turned to this level of success.At last but not the least our constant instructor and time manager sir Adnan Ahmad who managed to show us last glimpse of the photos he captured in his camera, as if he already knew that his memory card would die soon afterwards :p
Someone very correctly quoted once“Its better to die with memories than with dreams.” I have found this quote practically implementable with the flashbacks of the trip from the moments of constant laughters while playing “intaashari” in the bus, and the tasty biryani lunch at bhera, while the 1st tractor ride experience & covering restless hiking track and ending up to a lake that seemed like more of playboy’s party area :p And yes, unlimited selfies and Dslr shoots with paisa wasool clicks. :) Last movie guessing game on the way back and the yummy Macflurry ❤
The happiest moments don’t last longer but they do carve a long lasting impact on us. The way we get to know people more on a journey together is a golden period of assessing other’s soft corners and life priorities. Among all the previous trips i had in the past, this was one of the most amazing experience i could ever remember. Its because of the fact that it is the 1st time i have felt at ease with people other than my family and a limited social circle. I truly admire people who made me feel respected and that ultimately helps me to break my external hard cover of conserve nature. Lots of love and future prayers of success for all super amal fellows with whom i have been able to gather comprehensive decades of memories within short time of 3-months span. May we be able to reunite on future adventurous tours too. InshAllah! :)
